Fred Clark

Bald, dour character player from the Broadway stage, who first played heavies but soon established himself as a comic actor. Famous for his slow burn, his air of authority and exasperation, Clark often played irrascible businessmen. He also co-starred on TV as pompous neighbor Harry Morton on "The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show" (1951-53).
